Abstract

This chapter identifies significant links between research and quality improvement. By taking an appreciative approach, it aims to support practitioners in evaluating practice and initiating small changes within their settings, based upon engagement with theory and research. It empowers practitioners to understand practice/work-based enquiry. Within this chapter, there is a strong emphasis on improving quality and ensuring that conducting research is purposeful either to the setting, to children’s experiences or your own professional development.
